The Convention Organized and Pre-.
lilninaries Easily Settled.
The convention was promptly called to
order by NJ. w. Glenn, chairman of the
city committee. George G. Jacoby named
DR.. 5. 5. Kilvingt0n for chairman, and
Mayor A. A. AmeS was placed in nominal
ton by a. D. Smith. 1t became apparent
that on a division of the house it would be
impossible to distinguish delegates, and on
motion Of E. A. Stevens the floor was
ordered cleared and the delegates arranged
in order, beginning with the First and end
ing with the Thirteenth. This necessarily
consumed considerable time. and when
order had been restored DR.. Kilvington
withdrew. Mayor Ames was unanimously
elected and was greeted with great cheer
ing as he assumed his seat. He thanked
the convention and said emphatically that
while he thanked them for past favors, he
did not consider it proper that he should be
permanent chairman, and he preferred not
to interfere in any way or to influence ward
politics in any degree. Last spring." he
continued, 1.-THE Democracy swept the city
with a~Sclean broom. and last fall
they retook the broom and started
cleaning that included the
entire state of Minnesota, and we will not
cry: '"Fhe state Is ours" The remainder
